I only see Alomar for sure getting in with possibles being Blyleven and Raines.

I would vote for Alomar, Blyleven, Larkin, Martinez, McGwire, Raines, and Trammell.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

I'd be tempted to vote for Galarraga and McGriff. They're both class acts with borderline resumés.

Can we be sure Galarraga wasn't a roid head? He was a pretty damn huge guy.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Can we be sure? Probably not, but we have no reason to suspect him other than the fact that he was a big guy, which isn't a crime.

And he had ****ing cancer -- multiple times, no less. If anything, he gets a huge bonus on health-related issues.

Keith Hernandez, HOF yay or nay?

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

As to how the vote actually goes down this year (75% needed for induction): Dawson barely makes it, Blyleven barely misses out (and will make it in 2011), none of the noobs make it on the first try. Alomar will get 60-65%, Larkin a little less, Edgar and Crime Dog will be in the 40-55% range.

If he was a shortstop, sure.

McGriff has a much better case than Galarraga, even before taking into consideration the Coors Field factor.

True, but Galarraga had finest season in Atlanta. And followed that up by missing the entire next season while getting treated for cancer. If that doesn't happen, and Galarraga puts up 150 hits and 40 homers in 1999, he's looking at career totals of 2500 hits and almost 450 home runs. I would put him in line ahead of McGriff in that case.
